Matthew Kennedy grew up in New Jersey and was constantly surrounded by music. His grandparents had him listening to The Rat Pack, The Platters and Harry Belafonte while he explored other genres on his own.

He received his Bachelor of Music from Westminster Choir College and moved to NYC. Since then, Matthew has performed in various musicals around the United States, toured with tribute bands and been a featured singer on both American and German cruise lines.

Matthew has a passion for travel, which only comes second to performing.
